Insecure Connection with sites such as Netflix and Origin
Hi,
I get this error message when I try connecting to Netflix and some other sites such as Origin when I am connected to a WiFI:
Your connection is not secure
The owner of www.netflix.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

Report errors like this to help Mozilla identify and block malicious sites
www.netflix.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for .
Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT
HOWEVER, the sites work fine when I plug in my phone and use it's hotspot data. Any ideas? I've been trying for weeks, thanks.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

Sounds that the hotspot sends it own certificate to Firefox and this certificate isn't trusted in Firefox.
Try to set this pref to true on the about:config page in case other software adds its root certificate to the Windows certificate store.
- security.enterprise_roots.enabled = true
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
You can check if there is more detail available about the issuer of the certificate.
- click the "Advanced" button show more detail
- click the blue error text to show the certificate chain
- click "Copy text to clipboard" and paste the base64 certificate chain text in a reply
If clicking the blue error text doesn't provide the certificate chain then try these steps to inspect the certificate.
- open the Servers tab in the Certificate Manager
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
Certificates: View Certificates -> Servers: "Add Exception"
- Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security
- paste the URL of the website (https://xxx.xxx) in it's Location field
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate -> "Get Certificate"
- click the "View" button and inspect the certificate
You can see detail like the issuer of the certificate and intermediate certificates in the Details tab.
Hi, Here is the more information that is presented when I click on the blue:
